Aubrey started dance class tonight and I needed something quick and easy to make when we got home. Who doesn't love a big ol' baked potato with the works and grilled cheese? Whoever thought of combining the 2 is pure genius!!! So amazing I can still taste it and crave more!!! Score! Another recipe my hubby loves!
Ingredients:
- 2-3 Strips of Bacon
- 1 Potato
- 2 tbsp of Sour Cream
- Cheddar Cheese
- Green Onions/Chives
- 2 Slices of Bread
- Butter
- Canola Oil (I used Olive Oil)
- Garlic Powder
- Salt & Pepper
1. Get a pan on medium heat with enough Olive oil to lightly cover the bottom. Cut your potato into even slices, you will need 4-5 slices for the sandwich, then place them in your pan, cooking each side until browned and crispy.
2. While cooking, salt and pepper the potatoes to taste (they don’t need a lot of salt as the bacon will help with the saltiness as well) and sprinkle a light pinch of garlic powder. In another pan cook your bacon on medium heat to desired tenderness..or microwave like me. (I tend to burn my bacon when I use a stove)
3. While everything is cooking, slice your bread (use some crusty bread like french or sourdough if you have it), and generously butter the outside of each piece. On the inside, put about 1 tablespoon of sour cream on each slice as well as slices of cheddar cheese on each side. Once your potatoes and bacon are finished frying, dab them on paper towel to remove some grease, then fan the potatoes out on your bottom slice of bread, put a little more sour cream on top of the potatoes if you desire (I did to help the bacon and chives stick in the sandwich). Slice up one green onion stalk and spread it on top of the potatoes along with the bacon. Place your other slice of cheese on top of all of this and top with your bread!
4. Grill the sandwich in a pan on medium heat until each side becomes golden brown.
5. DIG IN and ENJOY!
